Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?

by minimus in

jw
friends

they have predicted this for years.

religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.

the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..

truth_b_known

I always remember the Watchtower teaching that all governments would turn on all religions. Witnesses theorized it would be a seizure of all property and wealth. My personal thoughts when I was a Witness was that it would include all Watchtower assets, as technically the Watchtower teaches Witnesses are separate from the corporation. It was only after this the governments would see Witnesses still chugging along that they would finally turn on the Witnesses.

There are so many religions, many that have no financial assets, that I don't see how this would be possible. I cannot see every religion, but Jehovah's Witnesses, being eradicated. This could only happen if 8 billion people minus the Witnesses decided to give up religion entirely.

A Growing Problem for Materialists

by Sea Breeze in

the famous double-slit experiment proves that light travels both in individual particles called photons and also as a mathematical probability wave.

matter itself exhibits this particle-wave duality which allows objects to exist in two different places at the same time, depending on whether of not you are looking (testing) at it.

scientists have recently been able to get molecules as large as 2000 atoms to exhibit this duality!.

I often find when persons refer to theist or creationist ideology of the origins of the universe it is actually inferring Judeo-Christian beliefs. Look at the Hindus. They believe the universe always existed and will always exist. That after a time the universe is sort of reset.

The interesting thing about that is it sort of follows the idea of the Big Bounce Theory. The Big Bang was actually just the last reset.

Anthony Morris wants former Jehovah's Witnesses DEAD

by neat blue dog in

in a disgusting new video, anthony morris iii talks about apostates, and brings to mind his 'hot dog' talk all over again as he anticipates the demise of ex-jehovah's witnesses.

i don't know if you're familiar with maggots, but when you see a whole bunch of them it's not a pleasant sight.. .

what a fitting picture of the final end of all of god's enemies.

truth_b_known

"Jehovah's enemies will be destroyed and eaten by maggots because they're not worthy of a burial. We don't rejoice over this, but, well, they're FINALLY destroyed. <Blows out match>"

Queue audience canned laughter because they find it funny.

I'd like to pose the question to Witnesses - Did you laugh? Do you look forward to billions of humans being destroyed like Tony Morris does?

Twisting Micah 6:8 to fit the Governing Body's narrative

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

mark sanderson: “wisdom is with the modest ones” (prov.

here is governing body member mark sanderson reading micah 6:8 from the new world translation.

twisting micah 6:8 to fit the governing body's narrative to be ''loyal'' to jehovah and ingrained into every member's brain to also include the ''governing body.

truth_b_known

In Micah 6:8 the Hebrew word hesed or chesed is being translated as "mercy" in some translations and as "loyalty" in the new Watchtower Bible. Hesed is not easily translated into a single English word. Mercy is on the right track, but there's more to it. However, loyalty is not the idea and being loyal to someone or an organization is definitely not what the author was trying to convey.

Zoroaster spoke thus

the following is from: cosmos, chaos and the world to come (pp.

Doug:

There is a YouTube channel I follow in which the content creator goes over the creation account in Genesis chapter 1 (apparently the creation account in Job differs). The content creator suggests that the creation account of Genesis is an allegory that contains Persian mythology. The reason it does not say that God created the Sun, but rather refers to lights, is because the Hebrew word for Sun is the same as a Persian god. I have not verified this, but I think it relates to your research.

I believe a materialist is one who upholds the credo of science - "If it cannot be measured it does not exist."

When one introduces an idea with evidence that goes outside the credo, those who uphold it simply raise the bar of evidence required for proof.

Good one, Nowwhat. I had a similar thought. Publisher Window Washer watches as his donation to the World Wide Work is put to good use entertaining the Governing Body entourage at the local Regional Convention.

jehober "always'" protects his 'loyal servants'?

by eyeuse2badub in

last week i watched the docuseries on prime video called “the last narc”.

it was mainly about the notorious mexican guadalajara drug cartel during the 70’s and 80’s and a united states dea agent, kiki camerena, who was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered in guadalajara, mexico in 1984. this is a very well-known and haunting event here in the usa.. however, there was also about a 7-8 minute segment during the docuseries that graphically detailed the kidnapping, rape, and murder of 4 jehovah’s witnesses that also took place just days before kiki camerena was taken.

the jw’s were 2 married couples, us citizens, dennis and rose carlson, ben and pat mascarenas.

The mental gymnastics Witnesses go through on this topic is of gold medal Olympic proportions. When such events happen and the Witnesses seem to be miraculously saved the response is - "Praise Jehovah! Faithfully remaining loyal to Jehovah and his organization will literally save your life." When such tragedies happen and the outcome is not so nice the response comes in one of two forms -

"It is as the Bible says, 'Time and unforeseen circumstances,'" or

"They must have had a 'secret sin' that caused Jehovah to remove his protection."

So, the question to present in the 2 tragedies listed in the original post is this - Which was it? Did 2 JW couples who moved to a foreign nation because "the need was great" end up raped, tortured, and murdered because of dumb luck or did they have a secret sin? Did 43 Witnesses drowned to death after being swept out to sea because of dumb luck or were all 43 committing a secret sin that caused Jehovah to remove his protection?

A Witness might respond "Sometimes Jehovah protects his faithful people because they yet still have some purpose to fulfill got him." To which I would respond, "Do you mean the same God who has 8 million servants worldwide, but who would use rocks to cry out if no one proclaimed his holy name?"

In short, the Watchtower's own teaching in writing states that those 2 couples had to be allowed to be tortured, raped, and murdered to prove that humankind needs God and to prove Satan's claim that humans do not need God a lie. 43 Witnesses who agree with that statement had their lives cut short by drowning at see to prove that same point.
